    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Is the big difference between how they perceive a non Hums degree from Oxbridge v a uni like Warwick? I ask because I went to Warwick n completed History. I’m not applying for MC/SC so I think my grades matter slightly less.

    Previous Vacations Scheme Application questions

    Hi, I intend to create a bank of application questions for the firm I intend to apply for this cycle. I strongly believe this will help with my firm research as their questions illustrate the value they seek in their applicants. Additionally, I think this will help with the upcoming application...

    I’m a non law grad with a months worth of legal experience. I have a strong feeling of which practice areas I’d love to work in. Obviously it’s too early to tell what I would pick, however, and how well I would do of course! Nonetheless I wonder how much I should know about the practice areas...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    is it okay to apply to law firms that ask for AAB with ABB grades? I imagine this would depend on the firms I'm applying to (Hogan Lovells, Bird n Bird, and Taylor Wessing). I'm more interested in whether this is an essential criterion or desirable. If not, I am okay with this as they aren't the...

    Next stage of Addleshaw Goddard (AG)

    Hey is this for a direct training contract? If so, which office did you apply for and when did you submit your application? I’m interested in the wait time. I applied well over a month ago for the London office, 24th May to be exact. The wait has been draining. AG is the top of my list. I’m...

    Anyone progressed to the next stage for the Airbnb Legal Internship? Also, has anyone applied for the Topgrad Legal Internship? If so have you heard back about the progression of your application, if so how long did you wait?

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I’ve only have a little experience with the GLP which I completed a couple weeks ago. Most of the legal experience I have has been in Commercial Law. The work did involve quite a bit of communication with HMRC, SFO, CMA, and other gov bodies. Completely different to Childcare. The person...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Is there much difference between a paralegal and a legal assistant? I imagine there most definitely is a difference, so I want to be clear on the role I am applying for. My local council has a vacancy for a Legal assistant in Childcare. I feel it would be great experience whilst I wait to apply...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    By the end of the summer I would have completed around 4 weeks worth of legal experience. In my application for a direct TC that has already been submitted, I only mentioned my internship which lasted two weeks because the other two experiences had not been completed. Additionally, the form...

    which law firms said this? I thought a vacation scheme, regardless of what firm it was at was enough?

    I've emailed the GLP and they have responded confirming that I am a part of the scheme. I think AS messed up. Thank you very much for the support Jessica.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Honestly, I don’t think you are wrong on this one. I have a feeling they (Aspiring Solicitors) haven’t sent me an email to confirm my place and the GLP isn’t aware of this. I’m worried that they haven’t sent the formal contracts, etc to confirm my place on the scheme.

    As the GLP Diversity Scheme starts on the 1st of July - two weeks from now, I'm assuming I have a PFO as I have not heard back on the outcome of my application. Has anyone who has applied heard back from Aspiring Solicitors? I think it's awful how they don't provide a timeline for what happens...
